Chapter 32: Mate Moon

The gray wolf did not move for a long time.

He stood in the doorway with the lamplight behind him and his frosted muzzle low, and Halvard sat on the step with his hand open.

The husky leaned against the wolf's shoulder and sighed.

"Ten years," Halvard said, so quietly I almost missed it. "I put my hand on that lake every night for ten years."

The wolf took one step.

Then another, down onto the porch boards.

The man's scarred fingers closed over the great gray head, and the wolf pushed into them with his whole body.

Halvard bent double.

His shoulders shook.

I sat down on the step beside him, and the husky climbed over both of us to get at the wolf's ear.

Nobody said anything for a very long time.

The Mate Moon came in the second week of May, and so did Bess's baby.

She went into labor at the pack bonfire with a sausage in her hand.

"It's not a contraction," she told the circle of faces. "It's gas."

"Bess," I said.

"It's gas, Neve."

"Walk to the clinic. Now."

The new Alpha picked her up without a word and carried her down the path, and she yelled at him the whole way.
